[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Les Citrons de Provence aiment les bois clairs et chauds.
Ils diffèrent des Citrons : Gonepteryx rhamni par cette ombre orange qui envahie leurs ailes antérieures.
Mais ils ont tous les 2 comme plante-hôte : L'Alaterne.

Hola Laurent, 2 mejor que 1, un alto nivel de dificultad en esta fotografia tomando a dos nariposas al vuelo, en el que tu has conseguido un resultado excelente. Un saludo

Bonsoir Laurent,
Des papillons en vol et bien nets, quel exploit! Les couleurs sont splendides. Il me semble que j'aurais recadré un peu... un détail de toute façon. Amitiés,
Catherine

Splendida doppia cattura, ottimi POV e DOF, bellissima composizione e spettacolari le pose, ottima nitidezza, molto belli i colori e BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Bonsoir Laurent,

Ecore une très belle photo de ces papillons en vol. La composition est très agréable. Le focus sur les deux papillons est très bon. L'arrière-plan très sombre fait bien ressortir la couleur vive de ces papillons.
Superbe capture!
Bonne soirée,
Mariki

Laurent, this is probably some of your best work, a in-flight capture is always a joy, you have given double joy!! One of the best images here today... excellent work

Laurent,
Very nice shot! I'm sure this must've been a very difficult shot!
Very well done!
Goldy

Bravo, ils ne sont pas toujours faciles à fixer ces jolis papillons colorés ...

Hello Laurent.
I find it really difficult to find pictures of this species openwinged, and here you have both, male and female, captured in their flight showing their beautiful uperwings colors! Fantastic!
A superb capture.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards
Maite

Bonsoir Laurent,
Tu deviens spécialiste des papillons en émoi! Très jolie scène, légère comme une brise..
Le mâle a vraiment une très belle coloration des ailes. Très bien vu et photographié.
Bonne soirée

Outstanding butterfly pair photo. The sharpness is amazing, especially on the in-flight male. I am suprised that you could get both butterflies so well focused with aperture of f4.5. The exposure is outstanding and I love the colors.

Ciao Laurent, magnifica coppia di splendide farfalle, perfetto fuoco su ambo gli esemplari, perfetta realizzazione con bellissimi colori e ottima nitidezza, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Laurent,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful pair in a mating game. Great capture of this moment in flight. Very impressive sharpness and lovely colours with superb lighting and exposure. The darkish BG helps in highlighting the two. Excellent POV and composition.
TFS.

Hello Laurent,
What a fine presentation of this southern Brimstone couple! I like the bright orange on the wings that makes it look quite different from our Brimstone. Very good illustration of beahviour sharply portrayed and in fine colours.
Many thanks, Ulla
